Restaurant "Cancellation after 5th"

We heard from restaurants that called for wearing masks and required the installation of acrylic boards that it was difficult.



"Italian Bar ORA" in Miyakojima-ku, Osaka is considering installing an acrylic board from April 5, but since there are many menus to share such as pasta and smoked dishes, the acrylic board is between customers. It is said that it is difficult to install.

After the second state of emergency was declared, sales were doubled at this store compared to during the declaration, but reservations were made one after another five days after the application of "priority measures such as spread prevention" was decided. It is said that it has been canceled and there is currently no reservation.



Owner chef Seiya Yoshida said about calling for wearing a mask at dinner, "I don't want to say it, but I have to say it. I think it's offensive to some customers, so it's a problem for future sales." I will.



Regarding the application of "priority measures such as prevention of spread" from the 5th, "I'm getting tired of thinking again. I could somehow predict that I'm looking at the current infection situation. The government and the government are working hard. I think I'm doing it, but I'm no longer expecting emotions. "

Acrylic board is out of stock

As a result of "priority measures such as prevention of spread," Osaka Prefecture will request all restaurants to install acrylic plates on their tables from the 5th.



Acrylic boards are running out of stock and out of stock at stores.

At the "Royal Home Center" store, which operates a home improvement store headquartered in Osaka, sales of acrylic boards have skyrocketed in the last few days, and some products are out of stock.



In addition, there are acrylic boards that are out of stock at home improvement stores "DCM Daiki" in Osaka and Hyogo.

Governor Yoshimura "I would like to ask for your cooperation"

Governor Yoshimura told reporters on the 2nd, "If the infection spreads rapidly, it is necessary to take prompt action. The infection is expected to spread for a while, so I would like to ask for your cooperation." I called for cooperation again.



On top of that, "Until the vaccine spreads, if you enjoy eating and trying to control infection, you will only have a mask meal. I think it is quite inconvenient, but I would like to ask for a mask meal because it will be stronger against infection. I would like you to install an acrylic board, etc. ", and urged thorough measures against infection at restaurants, such as wearing masks at dinner.
